I’m talking about this sort of thing. Like clearly I wouldn’t want someone to see that on my phone in the office or when I’m sat on a bus.

However there seems be a lot of these that aren’t filtered out by nsfw settings, when a similar picture of a woman would be, so it seems this is a deliberate feature I might not be understanding.

Discuss.

Gives me the ick, like some guy with a pornstar poster. If you can't even go to work without having a sexualised image constantly in your eye line, you need to work on your priorities.

But isn't that their problem? Why bother what their personal priorities are?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Because they're working with other people?

So you have a problem with a persons priorities, based on their preferences when it comes to office decorations, because they are "working with people"?

As long as those preferences and priorities do not interfere with this persons performance at work, I don't see why you or anybody should have a say on this really.

Simply put, it's sleezy. I wouldn't want to hang around someone like that. Titillating anime pictures are on the spectrum of a mechanic's skimpy calendar. They've prioritised sexual gratification over social decorum, which the choice in of itself, I feel would make women uncomfortable. What kind of guy does that?

There's clearly a limit here, I'm sure you'd agree, perhaps your line is simply further back. Hardcore pornography is probably out, no? A fleshlight? A poster celebrating 9/11? Any number of these things wouldn't interfere with my ability to work, but I certainly wouldn't want to go near that person. You come to work to work, not to get a horn on.
